August Newsletter - 18 months of changing lives - together!
2 September 2026
For the past 18 months, Youth Hub Chch has been providing safe, supported homes for young people at risk of homelessness, in partnership with the Christchurch Methodist Mission.
For the rangatahi who have lived with us, having a safe place to call home has provided more than just a roof over their heads. It has created stability, connection and the opportunity to develop the skills and confidence they need to build a brighter future.
But the need is far greater than our current capacity. For every room that becomes available, we receive around 10 referrals from rangatahi needing a home.
We want to do more.
Our next stage is to develop 10 one-and-a-half-bedroom youth apartments, providing housing for young parents and young people who are not suited to communal living. These homes will help us support more young people with safe, secure housing and the wraparound support they need to thrive.
We are working hard to secure the funding needed to make this vision a reality. Your support can help us create more pathways out of homelessness and towards a safe and hopeful future for rangatahi.
Every contribution makes a difference. To all of you who have continued to support us wherever you can - we see you!
Thank you for helping us build a community where every young person has a safe place to call home.
